My question involves criminal law for the state of: mass

So just the other night my gf and I are getting harassed by our upstairs neighbor accusing us for calling DSS on her. She works with my GF and started to harass her at work about it, later that night my GF texts her on the phone saying can I please have my spare house key back and AC that you asked to borrow the lady replies with threats she's gonna come beat my gf up and that she's not afraid of my gf this and that the only thing my gf said was grow up just give me my stuff back and end it... 15 minutes later my door bell rings its this crazy lady showing up to my door with 3 other girls and another guy and 2 children at 1030 at night screaming and obviously came and not leave without a fight, my gf n her exchanged words n we try to shut the door the lady ended up kicking the door breaking and popping the screen right out and fully charges at my gf I then jumped in front of the both of them wile this lady attacks my gf at this point still trying to separate them she then starts to come into my home still trying to get at my gf to hit her and finally the physcos friend pulls her away n takes off.... Now its 6am my gf goes to work and this ladys GF... Yes she is a part of the lesbian crowd ... She says to my gf " oh your man likes to hit girls" referring to me n she replied "no he tried to break up the fight" wich is clearly all I have done... What do I do about this whole situation what charges can I press against this person

Oh, ye gods and little fishes. She has a key to your house? Change the locks immediately.

You need to call the police and file a report for her kicking in your screen and attempting to force her way into your home.

Then you and your girlfriend need to go down to the courthouse and file for a civil protection order (sometimes called a restraining order).
